meet our tech trek girls

PROGRAM: REVIEWING TECH TREK CAMP 2024 AT UCSD

Cabrillo-Diego sent ten girls to Tech Trek Camp at UCSD this year. The girls were selected from Challenger Middle School in Mira Mesa, Pacific Beach M.S., and Francis Parker M.S.

The camp ran from Sunday to Friday at the end of June. The girls attended many sessions in a core class such as anatomy, forensics, robotics and engineering. In the afternoons there were assorted specialty classes like chemistry and coding.

One evening General Atomic presented a program and followed up a few days later with an evening at their reactor facility. Three buses transported 120 thirteen- year-olds to tour the incredible site where all were fitted with hard hats! Each group was led by a woman.

Another evening we all walked across campus to a chemistry lab theater where the girls were divided into groups to take part in experiments. A very exciting time. Of course the professor was an incredible woman!

What a feast of events AND all the pizza and ice cream one could consume!

You can meet these girls at this meeting and hear them talk about their experiences.
